  1. The unit of inductance is the:
    1. farad
    2. henry
    3. ohm
    4. reactance

  2. The correct colour coding for the neutral wire in a flexible mains lead is:
    1. brown
    2. blue
    3. yellow and green
    4. white

  3. The following material is considered to be a semiconductor:
    1. copper
    2. sulphur
    3. silicon
    4. tantalum

  4. A transistor can be destroyed in a circuit by:
    1. excessive light
    2. excessive heat
    3. saturation
    4. cut-off

  5. In the figure shown, 3 represents the:
    1. drain of a junction FET
    2. collector of an npn transistor
    3. emitter of a pnp transistor
    4. base of an npn transistor

  6. An ammeter should not be connected directly across the terminals of a 12 volt car battery because:
    1. the resulting high current will probably destroy the ammeter
    2. no current will flow because no other components are in the circuit
    3. the battery voltage will be too low for a measurable current to flow
    4. the battery voltage will be too high for a measurable current to flow

  7. The input to an amplifier is 1 volt rms and output 100 volt rms. This is an increase of:
    1. 10 dB
    2. 20 dB
    3. 40 dB
    4. 100 dB
